Barielle Me Couture for Fall 2014 Swatches, Part 2!

*Sent for review*

Today I have the second half of the Barielle Me Couture Fall collection for your viewing enjoyment! Barielle Taupe Notch is a smoky dark taupe, with some purple-grey tones to it. Taupe Notch has a moody wintry feel and indoors in lower lighting, it's darker than it looks here. It's an edgy, rock and roll neutral. I love these purple-grey-taupe combo polishes and I know I'm not alone here. Taupe Notch has a really rich looking, almost velvety creme finish.

This is just two coats of Taupe Notch and application was excellent. Great opacity and no complaints at all!

Barielle Berry Posh is a bright berry fuchsia creme. This is brighter on the nail than I was expecting, but I love it! I love berry polish for fall and winter when you need a little break from vampy colors, greys and deep neutrals. This is great hot pink berry that will be excellent year round. This is also kind of close to my dance school's school color, so I'll be sporting Berry Posh at all of the competitions coming up!

This is two coats of Berry Posh. Application and opacity were near perfect. This could only be improved if it applied itself to my nails.

Barielle Moda Bleu is a dark navy blue creme. In bright lighting, this has definite purple tones and looks quite blue, but it low lighting, it looks quite dark. I am always a fan of navy blue polish, I just can't help myself! I do think the purple tones make this slightly different from other navy blue cremes in my collection.

I did three thin coats of Moda Bleu for these pictures. The formula felt a little bit thinner than that of Taupe Notch and Berry Posh. It was nearly opaque in two coats, but I think the third looked best. The formula was a little on the thin side, but not problematic.

Overall, I really like the Barielle Me Couture fall collection. The colors are classic fall nail polish colors and the whole thing feels very cozy, bringing to mind soft sweaters and blankets. My top picks in this collection are Barielle Boho Chic and Berry Posh! The Barielle Me Couture collection and other great Barielle lacquers are available on Barielle.com.

Ananka, you definitely did! I responded to it too... I really need to get around to installing Disqus!! Maybe this weekend. I've been working 7 days a week at my regular job, but I have some time this weekend finally :)
